Listen to “Todd Wharton” on Spreaker.

On Saturday, November 17, 2018 from 6PM – 10:30PM (A movement supported by the city of NY) The 2nd Annual “One Love L’s Up Holiday Concert for Peace & Unity” presented by LTC Live, will take place in Times Square/Father Duffy Square in the heart of NYC.

Hi, my name is Todd Wharton, CEO & Founder of LTC, Host of LTC Live and the Creator of The One Love L’s Up Global Movement & Concert for Peace & Unity. NYC is the greatest city in the world, not because of the food, the skyscrapers, the entertainment, etc… IT’S BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE. We forget how special and beautiful this world is until you stand in the heart of NYC and at that moment you realize in one place, people from around the world from every race, religion, gender, sexual preference, young, old, rich, poor, etc.. are doing one thing; celebrating life without the fear of being afraid of who they are with the drive that know matter where they are from in the world #IamNYC , because NYC is the world.

This concert/movement has been created not because of a tragedy, but to try to prevent future ones. A concert not to happen just once, but a movement to take around the world to promote L’s Up (a symbol of peace and hope to let everyone know you are an equal of this earth)
A movement that unites all charities and all movements for one goal, to get one step closer to that Utopia.

Humans have been at war with each other since the dawn of time and we are fighting battles and rules based on those from the past that mocked what they don’t understand. You have a choice, a human virtue that only you control.

We are asking for your support. Anyone can say “Well I liked your post”, but it’s the ones that give a little or a lot, who show up and the ones that get off their computer to be a part of history to help celebrate life and not aid in destroying it. Help us change the course of time and make our future better for those generations to come.

Bob Marley has proven that a voice can be strong through music to promote peace and love. He was so determined that after being shot for what he believed in, 2 days later he got back up on that stage and sang. When asked “Why” he said “There are those that are trying to make this world worse and they are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness”

Please help us make a difference. This is your world as well.
One man can change the world, but together we can change the course of man and woman in a positive way.

My name is Todd Wharton and I approve this message

Media Representatives were invited to attend the following events Additionally, media is welcomed to use this footage, please let us know at paul.sladkus@goodnewsbroadcast.com. Technical Note: The sun shined brilliantly that day and created sun spots in the camera on some stories, as God shined down to strengthen the message of Freedom. Freedom is a right along with peace and by listening to many of the interviews of Freedom Fighters you will hear how important it is. Thanks. Paul

A reception marking the Hungarian National Day Anniversary will be held at the Hungarian Consulate General, 227 East 52d Street, NYC.

A large scale video mapping installation in DUMBO will tower above the Pearl Street Triangle, at a height of over 90 feet, using state of the art video mapping technology, bringing to life the heroic story of the historical events that toppled an oppressive Stalinist regime to achieve self-determination, freedom and democracy. The area of DUMBO, Brooklyn, at the heart of New York City’s video mapping scene, has emerged as a premier art center.

Witness the debut of the brand new show of Hungary’s pre-mier folk dance company featuring contemporary and thematic dances of the revolution, created especially for the anniversary.

According to Ambassador Ferenc Kumin, Consul General of Hungary in New York, “America has a direct connection to the Hungarian Revolution and its aftermath. After the Freedom Fighters were defeated by the overwhelming force of Soviet troops and tanks, over 200,000 Hungarians fled their homeland to avoid imprisonment. This included hundreds of students who would have made major contributions to a democratic country. About 40,000 persons found new homes in this country, which offered them welcome and refuge.”

In September 2008, the company changed it’s name from the R.A.B. Food Group to the Manischewitz Company, under which it operates today.

It all started with Rabbi Dov Behr

The B. Manischewitz Company, LLC traces its beginnings back to the spring of 1888, when Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz opened a small Matzo bakery in Cincinnati, Ohio.

A humble beginning

It was largely from his spiritual concerns that he set out to make matzo or unleavened bread for Passover, first for his family and a few friends, but soon for many of the devout Jews of the city. His bakery soon evolved into a successful business, innovative and prosperous––though never inattentive to the spiritual needs of its customers.

From small bakery to booming business

By the end of the century, demand for his matzo had become so great that Rabbi Manischewitz turned to the use of gas-fired ovens, replacing the older coal stoves being used by other Jewish bakers. The newer ovens allowed for much more careful control of the baking speed, insuring a consistent and standard quality to the matzos.
He also introduced portable traveling-tunnel ovens, and was the first to package his matzos for shipment to places beyond the immediate neighborhood of his bakery. He even began shipping his matzos overseas, to such diverse places as England, Japan, France, Hungary, Egypt and New Zealand. His bright, clean bakery would become a model for future kosher bakeries, both in America and abroad.

Matzo on the move

In 1932, the company built a second factory. Located in Jersey City, New Jersey, the plant quickly became the model for all new machine-made matzo bakeries worldwide. Closer to a much larger Jewish population than that of Cincinnati, the new factory also made distribution of the company’s product more efficient and quickly enlarged its customer base. The Manischewitz label was soon dominant in ethnic grocery stores and delicatessens in the larger East Coast cities. Thanks to the technology and efficiency of the New Jersey factory, Manischewitz was able to close down the Cincinnati facility altogether.

Same quality, more quantity

In 1940, Manischewitz produced its first Tam Tam cracker. It signaled the initial departure from its line of matzo products. About the same time, in a licensing arrangement, Manischewitz wines began to be sold throughout the country.
In 1954, the company purchased a processing plant located in Vineland, New Jersey. The Vineland facility, which has now ceased operations, manufactured all of the company’s canned and jarred products, including old familiar favorites like gefilte fish, chicken soup and borscht. The plant was primarily a hand-pack processing operation stressing careful attention to quality and flexibility. Workers there packed about 2,000,000 lbs. of fish and 1,000,000 lbs. of beets each year.
